Howdy Tadg,
Welcome to the Forum!!

Wow, sounds like you have accumulated a lot of good pieces.
You should be able to get a respectable sound from all the items you've mentioned.

As far as the setup and order, if you scan the past posts on this forum you will find allot of similar equipment line ups. There are also some starting settings given that would also apply.

We'll give you the order how we'd hook them up first.

MXL 2006 (we'd try this mic first)
Ultragain Pro 2200 (Mic Preamp)
Feedback Destroyer - DSP1100 (Parametric EQ'ing)
Composer Pro - MDX2200 (for Compression, sibulance and Tearing)
Virtualizer Pro - DSP-1000p (for plating effects)
Eurorack MX-1604a mixer (to interface with the 870)
TS-870s

We wouldn't use the ultragraph pro graphic-fbq 3102 since you have the DSP1100. The Parametric is far superior to the graphic EQ.

Hope this Helps,
Take Care,
